Two TELEGRAMA

While Governor Foraker was speaking
at Fostoria few nights ago he was
handed telegram. which he read to the
audience. 1t was as follows:
''ToLEDo, O., Oct. 20, 1887.
''TO Governor j. Il. Foraker:
Powell is now speaking; says you made
the infamous charge at Cleveland that he
o~ I'd over $500 delinquent taxes on his
h:mestead; says he does not to-day owe a
dollar of personal or real tax. and YOU
could have found it out by examining the
records. J. NJ. B.owN."
Governor Foraker said he had another
telegram, which he had received that
afternoon, just as he was leaving for a
walk. which he wished to read, and did
read as follows:
'.DELAwARE, O., Oct. 20, 1887.
ITO Governor J. b. Foraker:

Thomas K. Powell

they have avoided the discussion of the

time to the slandering of gentlemen aad

ON AN OCEAN STEAMER.
The System of Watches Adopted by the
Transatlantic Steamship Lines.


Transatlantic Steamship Lines.
The officers and sailors are divided
into two watches, and keep watch and
watch from the time of departure from
one port till the time of arrival at
the other. These watches are: First
watch, from 8 p. m. till midnight; mid
die watch from 4 a. m. till a. m. fore
noon watch. from s q. m. till noon;
afternoon watch. from noon till p. M. !;
then come the dog watches, the first
from p. m. till p. M; the second
from p. m. till 8 p. M; by this ar
rangement seven instead of six watches
are made, the intention being to change
the turn of the night watch every
twenty-four hours. BY the way, it was
facetiously remarked by Theodore Hook
that the term dog watch comes from
these watches being "curtailed." The
chief officer, third and fifth officers,
and half the sailors are in one watch,
0he port watch); the second, fourth
and sixth officers and half the
sailors make up the starbOard
watch. When the chief officer is
on deck he is stationed on the bridge
where the telegraphs to the engine
room, wheel-house, and other parts of
the vessel are fixed; the third officer is
on the lookout bridge, forward, and the
fifth officer is at the con attending to the
steering of the ship; two of the sailors
are stationed as far forward as possible
as lookout men, one sailor is stationed
at the crank hatch to pass an order to
the engine-room should anything go
wrong with the telegraph to the engine
room, and quartermaster is stationed
in the after wheelhouse to attend to the
steering engine and also to look after
the wheel chains; in thick weather the
lookouts are doubled, and in heavy
weather additional men are stationed in
the after wheelhouse to put the brakes
on the circle on the rudder head should
any thing go wrong with the wheel
chains, steering engine, etc, in which
case the hand steering gear could be at
tachcd in less than minute; the re-
naming part of the watch, under the
boatswain, attend to making or short
ening sail, washing decks, etc. When
the starboard watch comes on deck the
second officer relieves the chief officer,
the fourth the third officer, and the
sixth the fifth officer, the lookouts, etc,
being relieved by members of the watch
coming on duty. Every care and at.
tention is paid by the officers and look,
outs or it would be impossible to navi
gate ocean steamers as safely as is done
This routine is carried on from the be.
ginning till the end of the passage, and
through sunshine and darkness, storr
and tempest, the only change is remov
ing the lookout men from the fore enc
of the ship, where they might have, 9
chance of being washed away, to the
lookout bridge, or even to the main
bridge, but this latter is only done in
very bad weather. ~ Good Words.

Set into the breast of the Sphinx is the
celebrated stella of Thothmes ". of the
twenty-third dynasty. 1t is fourteen
feet high, and contains long inscrip-
ton, recounting how the King owed his
elevation to the throne to the interior
ence OF the god Hormakhu on his behalf.
Bas-reliefs upon the tablet show us the
King offering incense and pouring out
a libation to the Sphinx, with a beard
and other divine attributes. 1t also re-
lates his dream, wherein the god bids
him dig away the sand. The following
translation is quoted from Brugsh Boy;
"On one of these days it happened,
when the Kings son Thutmes had
arrived on his journey about the time
of midday, and had stretched HIM
self to rest in the shade of this great
god, that sleep overlook him. He
dreamt in his slumber at the moment
when the sun was at the zenith, and it
seemed to him as though this great god
spoke to him with his own mouth, just
as father speaks to his son, addressing
him thus: Behold me, look at me, thou,
my son Thutmes. ] am thy father Hor-
makhu, Khafra, Ra, Tum. The king
dom shall be given to thee, and thou
shalt wear the white crown and the red
crown Chat is, of Upper and Lower
Egypt on the throne of the earth-god
Sch, the youngest among the gods.
The world shall be thine in its length
and in its breadth, as far as the light of
the eye of the lord of the universe
shines. Plenty and riches shall be thine;
the best from the interior of the land,
and rich tributes from all nations. Long
years shall be granted thee as thy term
of life. My countenance is gracious
towards thee, and my heart clings to
thee. / will give1 thee the best of all
things. The sand of the district in
which have my existence has covered
me up. Promise me that you will do
what | wish in my heart; then shall l
know whether thou art my son, my
help. Go forward; let me be united to
thee. l ann"
AFTER this Ihutmes awoke, and he
repeated all these speeches., and he
understood (the meaning) of the words
of the god, and laid them up in his
heart, speaking thus to himself: 4 see
how the jewellers in the temple of the
city honor this god with sacrifcial gifts
without thinking of freeing from sand
the work of the King] Khafra, the
statue which was made to Tum-Hor-
makhu."
The rest of the inscription is de-
stroyed and Mr.. Flinders Petrie tells
us that since the last time the tablet
was uncovered, the word Khafra has
scaled off from the stone. At any rate
we learn from the Corpus H1Scriptionun1
GrGcarun1 that the King uncovered the
monster image of the god, exposing
him entirely to view, and that the in
habitants of Pi-usiri-the city of Osiris
-(Busiris) undertook to be the guides
for the numbers of strangers who then,
as now, flocked to see what was even
at that period one of the marvels of
antiquity. Chambers Journal.

DRINK RUINS A HOME.
Father, Mother and Two Children Be
come the Victims of Alcohol.

"
come the Victims of Alcohol.
One of the most deplorable cases in
which whisky is the prime factor was
brought to light in the Armory police
court this morning. John McNiven,
a sturdy-looking young man of about
thlrty-tive years of age, was up to six
months ago respected man, and held
a position as telegraph operator in the
Baltimore q Ohio general offices. In
an evil moment he took to drinking,
and so great q hold did it get on him
that he lost all manhood and neglected
to care for his wife and five children,
the eldest nine years and the youngest
three months old; His wife, a small,
frail woman, becoming disheartened,
also began drinking, and after
her the two eldest boys followed.
In some manner the family
got posse ssion of alcohol, and so public
did their actions become that the two
children received the sobriquets of
"Alcohol Willie" and alcohol Harry"
For the past two weeks the family has
lived on the charity of neighbors.
Agent Barnett, of the Girls Industrial
Home, and Agent Dudley, of the HUI
name Society, took the case in hand
and this morning, with the assistance
of Officer Maloney, of the Cottage
Grove avenue district, arraigned the
family in the Armory police court.
On hearing the above facts the father,
who seemed greatly affected at the
thought of parting from his children,
was fined thirty dollars and sent to the
Washingtonian Home. The children
were given in charge of the st. Jo-
seph's Orphan Asylum. The mother
was not found at home, and it is
thought that she has committed sui
eide, as she has of late frequently
threatened to destroy herself - Chicago

CRIMES OF WHISKY.

The New York "Tribuno's" Views on the
Assassination of Messrs. Haddock and
Northup.
The news of the assassination of DIR.
Northup, q Prohibtionist, at Haver-
hill, Scioto County, Ohio, by family
of rum-sellers is certain to quicken the
movement against the rum power
throughout the country. Few events
have done more to reinforce this agita--
ton than the murder of Rev. John
Haddock, another active Prohibition
ist, by saloon men at Sioux City, Iowa.
The Prohibition organs everywhere, of
course, utilized the tragedy, and the re-,
sort to murder by any representative
of the drink evil reflected newstigma
upon the entire whisky interest. The
cowardly and brutal killing of DR..
Northup will inevitably extend and
deepen this feeling. The friends of
total abstinence will not pause to draw
distinctions, but will fix the RESPONSE
bility of both crimes upon the liquor
interest as a whole, and will no doubt,
find much support in this course. The.
killing of Dr. Nothrup appears to have
| been deliberate, and as dastardly as a,
combined attack with deadly weapons.
| upon an unarmed man necessarily
must be. The ruilianism of the deed
will excite no less horror and indigna-
ton than the alleged motive of it,
namely, the removal of a man who
had made himself especially obnoX-
ious to the rum-seller by his efforts
in behalf of Prohibition. AS a muir
der it deserves, and will doubtless re-
ceive, the heaviest legal punishment.
As a whisky murder it will tell strongly
against the whisky cause everywhere.
Nor is it so certain that the holding
to account for such crimes of the liquor
interest generally is so unfair as may
seem at the first glance. For it must
be considered that this traffic is one,
which naturally and necessarily at
tracts and enlists the lowest elements.
of the community. The saloon in
politics has made the country ac-
quainted with those elements in the
most startling way 1t has put over
the heads of the best citizens the vilest,
most ignorant, brutal and venal. 1t
has disfranchised intellect and virtue
often, and given the control of gov
eminent to vice and stupidity. 1t has
systematized plumber and corruption,
and lifted demagogues and knaves
into power at the expense and sacri-
flee of the public interests. In many
cities it has so fortified the criminal
classes that they have been enabled
for years to defy all efforts after reform;
and in more than one instance it has
been necessary to have recourse to
violent methods to dislodge them. 1t is
therefore no eXageration to say that the
employment of the worst Instrument
alities, in the worst ways, belongs nat
urally to the prosecution of the COM
bat in which the rum power is now en-
gagged. And the further its represent
tatives are from the centers of civ
ilization, the remoter their location in
the country regions, the more apt will
they be to revert to the rowdyism and
ruffianism of their lowest type, as in
the Haddock and Northup cases.-M-

TEMPERANCE.
A TEMPERANCE STORY.

u was very still that night
When Lily l1nelt beside the bed,
A pale and steady candle-ray
Lingering on her dropping head. =.
The small room was very bare
OF comforts such as women need,
And cen the simplest wants Of life
Seemed poorly satisfied indeed.
Yet it was not always So
Time was, and not so long ago,
When righteousness and peace were hers,
Ere Drink, the tiend, had brought her low.
AS she knelt there all alone,
With heart that ached and eyes that burned
In that supreme hour so forlorn,
How wildly the time returned!
Sorrow then was far away
or care the garden lily knew
AS much as she, or lightest leaf
That ever the south wind blew.
There had been one happy day,
When, radiant with hope and youth,
She gave her life into the hands
or one she deemed all love and truth.
o. the hard reality
The bitter, the unwelcome truth!
So sad, that on her breaking heart
The darkest demon might have ruth.
or the year the stillest night
1t surely was, for no slight sound
OF ticking clock or falling Goals
Disturbed the solitude around.
There was no voice nor breath
In the dead child upon the bed;
The mother moved not. neither wept-
In bitterness her tears had fed.
IIark the mournful silence broke
With a noise of stumbling feet
And with a thrill of deep disgust,
| She turned Ter lord to meet.
A dim sense OF some dread thing,
| Felt in the awful solitude,
| And mirrored in her rigid face,
Brought him to a soberer mood.
! She met his eyes but spoke not;
| For what she felt was far too strong,
! Too deep for feeble human speech;
Too measureless her mighty wrong.
| She lifted her wasted arm,
And her accusing finger drew
| His frightened gaze to cupboard bare,
And freless hearth; and then the view
! or the pale corpse lying there.
| What words so loud as that mute hand,
Those hard and fierce and fearless eyes
| Could in their silent might command?
He shivered beneath their weight,
And horror seized his guilty soul
! At sight of all the mise Y
With which he filled the drunkard's bowl.
| From that unforgotten night
Twas he alone-thank God who knew
The pain and peril. want and woe,
That aye the drunkard's life bestrew.

DECORATION DAY.

The sounds of martial music swell,
The soldiers tramp again is heard,
And thoughts of those who fought and feli
Emotions founts again have stirred.
70 decorate their graves to-day
Who bravely fought the good fight well;
For sweetest flowers that blow in May
Are but the needs of those who fell.
Whence you deck grave where lies
The earthly form of some brave soul,
Anon you walk in his own guiSe,
And nearer stand to Heavens goal.
Cor, when in sympathy we dwell
In nearnesS to a noble aim,
No power within our hearts can quen
The longing wish to share its fame.
The noble dead The noble dead!
Their spirits lowering round our way
In sweeter paths our feet have led,
And turned our souls from night to day.
Who honors virtue, plants its seeds
Within his own awakened breast,
To ripen into glorious deeds,
And make himself and others blest.
The worth you thus commemorate
Shall shed its spirit round your way,
And, be you faithful, soon or late
Shall hold your soul within its sway,
If brave-your soul shall steadfast grow;
If fair-in fairer light twill bloom;
II fond-it sweet with hope will glow;
1t true-immortals. give it room
